Background

About Max Gallant

I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University, where I’m also minoring in Engineering Leadership and Development. My academic journey is marked by hands-on experience in design, manufacturing, and problem-solving. I've had the opportunity to lead a team of 60 Teaching Assistants at the Penn State Learning Factory, where I manage daily operations, update training programs, and foster relationships with corporate sponsors. My work includes training over students in various design and manufacturing processes, ensuring projects meet safety standards and exceed expectations. In addition to my academic and teaching experience, I've also gained practical skills as a Property Inspector for Ashburn Farm Association, where I ensured compliance with architectural standards for over 600 properties. My technical skill set includes CAD, CAM, CNC, and Finite Element Analysis, along with proficiency in SolidWorks, MATLAB, and additive manufacturing. Beyond the classroom, I’m deeply involved in leadership roles, serving as the social chair of my THON fundraising organization and Captain of the Penn State Crew Club. My passion lies in innovating and creating solutions that make a tangible impact, and I’m eager to connect with professionals in the field to further develop my career in mechanical engineering.
